Title: Appareil permettant de surveiller la qualite d'images transmises
Inventor: SUGIMOTO OSAMU
IPC: H04N17/00
Filed: 2002-04-11
Granted: 2008-09-30
Abstract: Une première unité d'extraction des valeurs caractéristiques extrait une valeur caractéristique d'une image transmise côté émission et une seconde unité d'extraction des valeurs caractéristiques extrait une valeur caractéristique d'une image récupérée côté réception. Ces valeurs caractéristiques extraites sont transmises à une unité de contrôle central par le biais de lignes de données à faible vitesse. Dans l'unité de contrôle central, une erreur quadratique moyenne est évaluée à partir des données par une unité évaluant l'erreur quadratique moyenne. Les deux unités d'extraction de valeurs caractéristiques divisent une image d'entrée en blocs, font subir aux blocs une transformation orthogonale ou soumettent les blocs à une multiplication de séquence pseudo-aléatoire PN avant la transformation orthogonale et l'extraction et la sortie de coefficients de transformation orthogonale. L'unité d'évaluation d'erreur quadratique moyenne détermine les différences entre les coefficients correspondants du côté émission et du côté réception et élève au carré les différences, ajoute les différences au carré pour chaque coefficient ou chaque bloc et évalue une erreur quadratique moyenne en fonction des valeurs ajoutées associées à une table. Avec cette opération, l'erreur quadratique moyenne peut être évaluée efficacement à l'aide d'une petite quantité de données extraites (de même, des lignes à vitesse moyenne peuvent être utilisées sur l'unité de contrôle central).

Title: Reducing power consumption in a peristaltic pump mechanism
Inventor: WOOLF DARIN K
IPC: A61M1/00
Filed: 2000-12-21
Granted: 2007-06-19
Abstract: The present invention utilizes a torque compensation system and a power control feedback system to reduce power consumption in a linear peristaltic pump. The linear peristaltic infusion pump includes an electric motor, which is connected to a cam shaft with multiple cams positioned thereon. Numerous elongate fingers cooperate with the cams to partly occlude an intravenous drip tube at multiple points along the tube's path. A torque compensation system and power feedback control system reduce the overall power consumption of the pump. A torque compensation cam positioned on the cam shaft, in combination with a torque compensation cam follower and a mechanical spring assist the motor while it is working against a rising cam follower. The power feedback control system comprises a controller which optimally adjusts the power supplied to the drive means so as to reduce overall power consumption of the pump.

Abstract: Nuclear magnetic resonance measurements of a porous medium using multiple wait times are used for determining the longitudinal relaxation time T1 time of oil in a hydrocarbon reservoir.  The T1 values of water in the formation are represented by a distribution. In a dual wait time implementation of the method, data are acquired with a short wait time TWS chosen such that the wetting fluid phase (e.g., brine) is completely relaxed but the hydrocarbon phase is partially relaxed, giving a sequence ECHOA and with a long wait time TWL giving an echo sequence ECHOB. Using known methods, the T2 for the oil and water may be determined.  The individual echo trains are summed and the T1 values determined form the summed echo trains and the determined values of T2.  The summation greatly improves the SNR. An equivalent method determines the T1 values by summation of a first echo train that is the sum of the individual echo trains and the summation of a second echo train that is the difference of the individual echo trains.  The various summed values may also be used as for quality control of the data.

Abstract: An article of clothing including a piezoelectric transducer and an electrical component restrains movement of a first body portion relative to a second body portion. The article of clothing can be a sports bra that controls the wearer's breast movement relative to the wearer's torso. As the breast moves, the piezoelectric transducer deforms and induces a voltage that is passed to the electrical component. The electrical component provides either a resistance or a control signal to the transducer. The transducer stiffens in response to the electrical component and reduces the movement of the breast by placing an external force on the breast.

Granted: 2006-07-25
Abstract: L'invention concerne un système et un procédé pour la synchronisation de systèmes multiordinateurs couplés, notamment de la technique ferroviaire, visant à accroître la disponibilité et la sécurité. Grâce au système selon l'invention, des systèmes multiordinateurs n'ont plus besoin que d'une horloge matérielle, ce qui permet d'éliminer les risques dus à une synchronisation des horloges matérielles. Pour qu'un ordinateur couplé (R1, R2) dispose également d'une cadence (impulsion), cette dernière est simulée par le procédé de la synchronisation temporelle. Comme chaque ordinateur (R1, R2) est normalement équipé d'une horloge matérielle, il est possible de modifier l'attribution de l'horloge matérielle active à un ordinateur (R1, R2) en cas de besoin. Pour obtenir une séparation appropriée de la synchronisation (SYN & CHK) par rapport aux applications (APP), des étapes de sous-système (RD, PC1, PC2, OT) pour processus d'application ont été introduites dans le système selon l'invention. Ces étapes de sous-système (RD, PC1, PC2, OT) sont indépendantes du système d'exploitation (OS-LAY) et d'un matériel (HW-LAY), ce qui permet une répartition des applications (APP) en éléments constants sans qu'il doive être tenu compte de la tâche de l'application (APP). Des points de synchronisation destinés à un contrôle de validité sont définis entre ces étapes.
